Himalayan Trek vs Soot

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Himalayan Trek belongs to the greige-grey family and Soot to the blue-grey family. At LRV 47 vs 6, Himalayan Trek will read as the brighter of the two — a 41-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Himalayan Trek's red character against Soot's blue — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 50.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
